AFCI protection
About to re-wire an old farmhouse. What can anyone tell me about AFCI's? There seems to be some debate about their usefulness. I believe the NEC requires them on new installations, but haven't double checked to be sure.

Hot-
Just to clarify. The 1999 NEC requires them for BR receptacles. 2002 requires all BR outlets to be AFCI. This includes lighting and smoke detector outlets.
